Service and Appearance Care
Sheet Metal Damage
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
sheet metal repair or replacement, make
sure the body repair shop applies
anti-corrosion material to the parts
repaired or replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
Foreign Material
Calc'ium chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap,
bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other foreign matter can
damage your vehicle's finish
if they
remain on painted surfaces. Use cleaners
that are marked safe for painted surfaces
to remove foreign matter.
Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be repaired
right away. Bare metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into a major
repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired
with touch-up materials available from
your dealer or other service outlets.
Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected
in your dealer's body and paint
shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal
and dust control can collect on the
underbody. If these are not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on
the underbody parts such as fuel lines,
frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even
though they have corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and
other debris cah collect. Dirt packed in
closed areas
of the frame should be
loosened before being flushed. Your
dealer or an underbody vehicle washing
system can do this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions
:an create a chemical fallout. Airborne
?ollutants can fall upon and attack painted
curfaces on your vehicle. This damage
:an take two forms: blotchy,
inglet-shaped discolorations, and small
irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes
this, Pontiac will repair, at no charge to
the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles
jamaged by this fallout condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20
000 km)
of purchase, whichever comes first.

Maintenance Schedule
Introduction: A Word about Maintenance
We at General Motors want to help you
keep your vehicle in good working
condition. But we don’t know exactly
how you’ll drive it. You may drive very
short distances only a
few times a week.
Or you may drive long distances all the
time in very hot, dusty weather. You may
use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or
you may drive it to work, to do errands,
or in many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people
use their GM vehicles, maintenance needs
vary. You may even need more frequent
checks and replacements than you will
find in the schedules
in this part. So
please read this part and note how you
drive.
If you have any questions on how
to keep your vehicle in good condition,
see your Pontiac dealer, the place
many GM owners choose to have their
maintenance work done.
Your dealer can
be relied upon to use proper parts and
practices.
Your Vehicle and the
Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only
helps to keep your vehicle in good
working condition, but also helps the
environment. All recommended
maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the
removal of important components can
significantly affect the quality of the air
we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even
the wrong tire inflation can increase the
level of emissions from your vehicle.
To
help protect our environment, and to help
keep your vehicle in good condition,
please maintain your vehlcle properly.
How This Part is Organized
The remainder of this part is divided into
five sections:
“Section
A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services” shows what to have done and
how often. Some of these services can be
complex,
so unless you are technically
qualified and have the necessary
equipment, you should let your dealer’s service department or another qualified
service center do these jobs.
If you are skilled enough to do some work
on your vehicle, you will probably want
to get the service information GM
publishes. You will find a list of
publications and how to get them in
this
manpal. See “Service Publications” in the
Index.
“Section
B: Owner Checks and Services’’
tells you what should be checked
whenever you stop for fuel. It also
explains what you can easily do
to help
keep your vehicle in good condition.
